Why join

Therapeutic Resistance Training lived in practice, with the creator of the method.

More than learning exercises, you master a complete clinical reasoning process: assess, plan movement patterns and prescribe interventions with an exact dose — in-depth training through real practice.

❧

Learn by example

You carry out assessments, movement patterns and prescriptions alongside the mentor — the most effective way to master the method.

◎

The MT/STS method

∑

Exercise dosage

Prescribe precisely with the equation Q = I × T: quality, intensity and time applied to each patient.

Ongoing support

The mentor keeps supporting you after the fellowship as you apply the method in practice.
